It looked all over for Murphy when the cell door closed behind him at Wormwood Scrubs on July 23rd2002.The years spent slowlypainstakinglymaking his way in the hard-knock life that is the world of horse racing had all been for nothing.All blown away in one moment of alcohol-induced madness. His account of his time inside is frighteningly stark.The regret the fearthe shamethe appreciation of liberty.He tells of the people who helped him copeboth inside the walls and outside and the letters that kept him going from day to day.He tells of starting all over again with his reputation in tatters and nothing but his extraordinary talent intact.And he tells of the remarkable chain of events that led him to landing one of the top jobs in National Hunt racing. In 'Riding the Storm'Murphy tells his story with a rare openess that is at once both refreshing and foreboding.He relays it with the frankness of one who knows what it is like to stare into the abyss and return.He has recognised his demonsand is dealing with them.Every day he is dealing with them.Every day he rides with those demons on his back. Timmy Murphy is one of the most talented racehorse riders of his generation.The son of a stud groomhe spent his early days riding his pony around Lady Clague's Newberry Stud in Co. Kildare.After spells with Noel ChanceDermot WeldMichael Halford and Michael Hourigan in Irelandhe moved to England where he has ridden for Kim BaileyJim OldMark Pitman and Paul Nicholls. Murphy has won the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup and the Paddy Power Gold Cup twice.He has also ridden the winners of countless other big races including the Arkle Trophy and the Irish Grand National.His horsemanship skills were probably seen at their besthoweverwhen he cajoled Smarty around Aintree to finish second to Red Marauder in the 2001 Grand National mud-bathwhen only four horses completed the course. Murphy is the consummate horseman.His talenthis balance and his riding brain have drawn accolades from some of the greatest authorities in the world of National Hunt racing.In his current role as retained rider to champion owner David Johnsonhe has the forum and the firepower to showcase those talents. Timmy Murphy was assisted in the writing of this book by Donn McClean.Donn is the bright young star amongst Irish racing writers.A former winner of the Martin Mills Awardhe is currently then 2006 chief feature writer for 'The Irish Field' and racing writer for The Sunday Times in Ireland.In 2005 he assisted Jessica Harrington while her bestselling book on Moscow Flyeralso published by Highdown.

‎THE VAGABOND FLEET: A CHRONICLE OF THE NORTH PACIFIC SEALING SCHOONER TRADE.‎

‎Victoria B.C.: Sono Nis Press 1988. 260 pp 9 1/4" H. Map endpapers. Sepiatone photographs colour ship portraits. "This gripping history of Canada's unknown seal hunt is a saga of greed and subterfuge of bumbling diplomatic intrigue that almost led to war. At the same time it is the story of brave men who battled stormy seas in aging ships many of which had seen better days. Countless lives were lost. Many of the victims were native Indians recruited with their canoes and spears from villages along the west coast of Vancouver Island. The effect of these tragedies on the Indian population and the economic impact of the fur seal hunt on their way of life is examined here for the first time. Threaded throughout the book are stories of the colourful characters who skippered and manned the sealing schooners. After years of acrimonious negotiations a four-nation treaty was finally signed in 1911 which saved the fur seals from extinction. It was a landmark agreement in the conservation of marine life which set the pattern for a number of other international treaties over the years." Dust jacket has small wrinkle at top edge of rear flap very light rubbing/soiling on rear panel. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. Illus. by Maurice Chadwick. Sono Nis Press Hardcover‎
